KARACHI: A protest rally taken out to mark protest against the anti-Islam film in Karachi led to a clash with police which stopped the participants from moving towards US consulate.

The participants protested outside the US consulate here and pelted the consulate’s building with stones.

The rally was taken out by the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen and protesters clashed with police on Mai-Kolachi road as they were trying to proceed towards the US consulate.

Police used tear gas, aerial firing and water cannon to stop the protesters and had earlier blocked roads leading to the US consulate.

Those protesters need to understand that there is something on Youtube to offend everyone and they need to get over it.

I'm quite certain material have been made in recent years that are much more "anti-Islam" that this film. The dubbing in of Islam-related discourse if hilarious.

I think the guy that plays "Unknown Father/Muhammed" is pretty attractive.
